Sky McCraken has some words for us.
I think some very hard realizations are going to hit us as a denomination. If we are going to make the shift to be about making disciples instead of making church members, there are people who are not going to be happy. In discipleship mode, neither clergy nor congregations are”cared for” – we become resources. Maybe even expendable resources.
For those of us who recently renewed our Wesleyan Covenant, his words echo in that prayer.

The doctrine of original sin is surely more humbling to man than the opposite: And I know not what honour we can pay to God, if we think man came out of His hands in the condition wherein he is now.


Thanks John!!!!! Would that everyone would take thyis seriously!!!!
